The Charlotte House Series is thrilled to welcome for the first time Porch Music KC to perform on its series. The Family Band is a wonderful holiday tradition for many families around the world, and this is certainly true for the members of Porch Music. The program is inspired by warm gatherings where all musical family members—professional, amateur, young, and old—play their favorite carols, pieces, and songs together. We'll gather by the fire to play some of Porch Music's holiday favorites, calling tunes from the stage like will be done with the group's own family bands.

One of the most important parts of our family band is YOU, the audience member. If you are so moved to join the band in their merriment, we hope you will do so by making a donation to the Charlotte House Series. We hope to raise $1500 by the time our family band session has come to a close. Your contribution will help fund future concerts and allow chamber music to continue to thrive in the community. We hope you spend part of your holiday season celebrating with us!

About Porch Music KC...

Porch Music was created by a group of Kansas City-based musicians who felt a strong need to continue performing live music during an unprecedented time. Residing in the West Plaza neighborhood, these musicians took to their porches and invited their neighbors for sight-reading sessions that eventually became weekly concerts. Now, West Plaza neighbors look forward to Porch Music concerts from week to week. Porch Music is excited to perform in the Beacon Hill neighborhood for the first time for this concert!
